Do we have a time frame in place for the life cycles this go around?
I'm saying Wii U (2012 to 2017)
45 million units
I think Nintendo may be the first one to release a 9th generation console.
As for PS Vita (2011 - 2017)
30 million units
By 2015, smart phones will be cheaper on contract and will have better technology than the Vita. PS4 sales may help boost the Vita incrementally, but I don't see any "wow" factor down the line that will woo people to buy the handheld rather than a tablet or smartphone.
